We had a small earthquake

Posted on October 22, 2012 | 4 Comments

You may have heard that Central Valley had a small earthquake last night, 5.3. It happened just a little before midnight. I was in bed and felt a slight bump. The memory foam mattress seems to be sensitive to these things. We get a few small tremors every few weeks so I don’t think too much about it.

    I did hear about this one. Glad it felt minor. Our school just had an earthquake drill but I don’t ever recall doing one when I taught in CA.

    I have never felt an earthquake, and now that I live in country where it might happen, I wonder what it’s like. A little bump I wouldn’t mind.

      Even the ’89 Loma Prieta quake didn’t do much shaking down here in the valley. I was driving when it hit and had no idea it had occurred until I got to my destination and started hearing others’ stories. We live in a pretty safe place for California.
